The Marvel Comics character Iron Man has appeared in various other media since the character's debut in Tales of Suspense #39 (March 1963). Iron Man has been the focus of three animated series and a direct-to-DVD animated feature. Three live-action Iron Man feature films starring Robert Downey, Jr. in the title role have been released since 2008 with Downey also appearing as the character in The Incredible Hulk in 2008 and in The Avengers in 2012.

Television

1960s

Iron Man on The Marvel Super Heroes animated series.

Iron Man appeared in the 1966 series The Marvel Super Heroes where he was one of the five featured superheroes[1] and was voiced by John Vernon.[2]

1980s

  • In 1981, Iron Man guest starred in Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends[3] with William H. Marshall providing his voice. He made cameo appearances throughout the series, most prominently in "The Origin of the Spider-Friends", in which Tony Stark is a central character.[2] The Beetle stole a crime-detection computer and the Power Booster invented by Tony Stark to increase his power. He was the first villain that the Spider-Friends faced together in that origin episode. In gratitude for the Spider-Friends' aid against the Beetle, Stark provided them with the crime-detection technology used by the heroes throughout the series.
  • Iron Man made a few cameo appearances with the rest of the Avengers in the 1981 solo Spider-Man show, on an in-universe cartoon (in the episode "Arsenic and Aunt May"), and as a costume in a costume shop in the episode "The Capture of Captain America".[2]

1990s

2000s

Iron Man in Iron Man: Armored Adventures.

2010s

  • Beginning in 2010, Iron Man appears in the The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, voiced by Eric Loomis and Keiji Fujiwara in the Japanese dub.[6][7] As in the comics, he is one of the founding members of the team and provides them with the Avengers Mansion as well as all the team's technology, including special ID cards and Quinjets. This Iron Man includes the elements from the comics canon and some elements from the recent Iron Man film series, including the Arc Reactor in his chest as well as his armor being run by the JARVIS A.I., as opposed to the HOMER system in the comics. He serves as team leader, and is seen in the opening credits monitoring the team's activities on various view screens.
  • As part of a four-series collaboration between the Japanese Madhouse animation house and Marvel, Iron Man starred in a 12 episode anime series that premiered in Japan on Animax in October 2010 and is shown on G4 in the United States.[8] It concluded on Animax after running the full dozen episodes on December 17, 2010. He is voiced by Keiji Fujiwara in Japanese and Adrian Pasdar in English.. He additionally appears in a non-speaking cameo in the final episode of Marvel Anime: X-Men.
  • He appears in the Spider-Man animated TV series, Ultimate Spider-Man, with Pasdar reprising his role. In the episode "Great Power", he is shown trying to master his suit. He has a major role in "Flight of the Iron Spider", where he and the team combat the Living Laser. The episode makes several references to his playboy persona. His background seems identical to the canon, with the first suit being built to escape captivity. An alternate version of him is briefly shown in the end, when the Living Laser ends up in the Super Hero Squad reality.
  • He will appear in Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H., once again voiced by Pasdar.[9]
  • Iron Man will appear in the summer 2013 animated special Phineas and Ferb: Mission Marvel,[10] with Pasdar reprising his role.[11]
  • Iron Man appears in the animated series Avengers Assemble, voiced once again by Pasdar.[12][13]
  • The president of Disney Channel Worldwide Gary Marsh announced a new Iron Man series is in development.[14]

Film

Video games

Motion comics

Iron Man appears in the Iron Man: Extremis Motion comic voiced by DJ Tanner.

Books

The Iron Man armor is prominently featured in the book Inventing Iron Man: The Possibility of a Human Machine by E. Paul Zehr, which explores the hard science fiction aspects of Iron Man and the possibility of building an Iron Man-like armor.[20]

Iron Man has appeared in the following novels:

Toys

The first Iron Man action figure was produced in 1975 by the Mego Corporation. This eight inch (203 mm) tall figure featured a cloth costume and plastic accessories. The version of the armor represented features the infamous "nose" helmet, making it unique among all Iron Man toys.

Toy Biz has produced Iron Man figures based on the 1994 Iron Man cartoon, all with vac-mTodayetallized, detachable armor parts. A fifth assortment, which never became openly available, appears on the collectibles market.[21]

Since 2002, Toy Biz has produced Iron Man figures in the company's Marvel Legends line. Iron Man Legends figures include his Classic Armor (Gold variant) and Stealth Armor in Series One, the Silver Centurion Armor in Series Seven, the Modern Armor in Series Eight, War Machine (with James Rhodes) in Series Nine, the Hulkbuster Armor in Series 11, the Origin Armor in Series 14 (Gold variant), and the Thorbuster Armor in Series 15. Modular Armor with War-Machine variant also appeared.

When Hasbro took over the Marvel Legends line in 2007, the company released the Ultimate Iron Man armor as part of the Annihilus Build-A-Figure series. His armor comes with different color. Some of the action figures' armor could be removed.

On March 22, 2008, Hasbro started an Iron Man movie toy line, with figures based on those appearing in the film and somewhat comic-faithful repaints. The first wave included seven figures: Iron Man Mark 01, Mark 02, Mark 03, Prototype, Stealth Operations Suit (Wal-Mart exclusive), Repulsor Red Prototype (Target exclusive), and Iron Monger (with red and blue highlighted variants).

The Marvel Minimates action-figure line features four Iron Man armors.

Iron Man is featured as one of the available characters to choose from in the Marvel Heroes version of the 1980s board game Guess Who?

Burger King included action figures of the characters from the movie in their children's menus. The figures include the Mark II armor, two version of the Mark III armor and the Iron Monger armor. In the 2008 movie, the first thing Stark does when he returns to the United States after escaping from the Ten Rings is buy a Double Whopper, and he eats it during his press conference.

Iron Man is the twelfth figurine in the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection. Today He is a key part of the upcoming Lego marvel sets and is one of three buildable action figures.

In June 2013, Bandai Tamashii Nations in Japan released Iron Man Mark VI for their SH Figuarts line

Unrealized projects

In 1989, while the third TV-movie sequel to The Incredible Hulk live-action television series was expected to co-star She-Hulk, Iron Man was being considered for both a follow-up or a solo film of his own.[22] One year later, a film from Universal Studios to be directed by Stuart Gordon was being negotiated.[23] This was still on the table ten months later,[24] and also another two years on, this time with no specific director or even studio attached.[25]
